I found the best book Monday night: MegaYoga, for curvy women! Megan Garcia, the yoga instructor, does traditional poses with modifications for those of us who have bellies and boobs that get in the way. 
I can finally do Child’s Pose without feeling like I’m suffocating!
I’ve done yoga the last three days, about 30 minutes each day. Since I have two mats, I brought one into work, along with a change of clothes. The microfilm room is out of the way enough to use, so I’ve been practicing on my dinner break. It’s amazing how peaceful and relaxed I feel afterward.
I copied all the pose pages in the book so I can combine them into different routines without flipping back and forth. It also makes it easier to change things up a bit. Now to bring the other mat in from my trunk to my apartment so I can practise first thing in the morning.

… I was better off with my leaking brain. The reporter I’m crunching data for had a great idea for the analysis, but it means pulling another piece of information. Not so bad, but that means downloading a file for every single school in the state. Then I have to re-save the file with a unique name. I’m up to the Ks for downloading and the first half of the Cs for renaming. I was hoping to be done by Sunday, but I’m not counting on it.
On the plus side, the project I’m writing for is humming along and I have the bulk of my writing done – well before my Wednesday deadline. I hope to finish the drafting tomorrow and be able to use next week for polishing and refining.
